Huawei is facing difficulties ramping up production of its Ascend 910B AI chip due to a new US crackdown. The Ascend AI server chip is China's leading alternative to Nvidia's A100. The shortage of GPUs, which Western AI developers experienced last year, is now affecting China. Alibaba has warned that the shortage could last for years. Chinese tech firms such as Alibaba and Kuaishou are restricting customer usage of AI models due to capacity limits caused by U.S. chip export controls. The global limited availability of Nvidia chips is exacerbating the situation for Chinese companies.
